Mission

Empowering all ages to understand their feelings and telling their Stories
Balancing of Life is dedicated to helping people move forward and feel good about themselves. Children and adults sometimes feel stuck but don't know why. Balancing of Life offers a children's self help book, and adults some online self paced training.

The training is unique, Jane explains her tools which she has developed and used for over 20 years in counselling and training.

The children's book is aimed to help young children ages (5-8) to help them understand what is a loss and how some people grieve. Jane explains what the children can do to help themselves and others. This is done in a gentle way, walking through a garden. 

Jane lived in remote Australia while her children were young so she has lived experience of such isolation. It is a different life for the children growing up remotely than for little ones who live in the cities and country towns.

Soon there will be opportunities for children in all these regions to tell their story so that children can learn from one another. We hope to engage children to explore their creativity through their own experience of living in the  remote areas of our vast country. 

Storytelling is so important:
Join us in our journey to explore the richness of children's experiences through the power of storytelling.
